Model comparisons for the abundance and species richness of bee groups (all, social bees, solitary bees, and cleptoparasitic assemblages) in conifer (<i>Cryptomeria japonica</i>) planted forest.

The table shows values of AIC and of ΔAIC calculated as the difference from AIC values of the null models. Asterisks (*) indicate that the vertexes placed within the forest ages (between 3 and 76 years old for planted conifer forest) were below 0 on the y axis for the best models (quadratic functions), and thus the second-best models were selected.
